What if I told you that Disney's "The Lion King" was based on a TRUE story? 🦁
In 1217, a boy was born in West Africa who couldn't walk. For 7 years, he crawled while other children ran. He was mocked, humiliated, and left for dead. His own brother tried to assassinate him.
But this boy would rise from the dust, defy a sorcerer-king with supernatural powers, and build one of the richest empires in human history.
This is the TRUE story of Sundiata Keita — the Lion King of Mali.
🎬 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
How a disabled child became the founder of the Mali Empire
The miracle that changed everything (7:00)
The sorcerer-king who wore human skin and played drums made from his enemies
The epic Battle of Kirina that decided West Africa's fate
The Manden Charter - one of the world's oldest constitutions (predating many European documents)
How one man's forgiveness built an empire that lasted 300 years
